Want free money? Lie about having 6 kids!!!

GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. -- A woman accused of lying about having six babies admitted Thursday that this isn't the first time she's told a lie such as this, KMBC's Lara Moritz reported.

Sarah and Kris Everson, of Grain Valley, made national news headlines this week when the couple admitted lying about having sextuplets in order to receive money and gifts to pay their bills. (who needs a job!?)

The couple spent several hours at the Grain Valley Police Department Thursday while investigators determine whether to file charges in the case.

Sarah Everson admitted she lied to her husband about being pregnant. However, her husband said he would stand by her. (awww thats so sweet)

"I'm standing beside her no matter what. I mean, jail time, whatever -- whatever it takes, I'm with her all the way," Kris Everson said.

Moritz reported that Kris Everson had driven his wife to work so she could drop off a letter about the babies -- including what their personalities were like -- but he didn't know his wife had lied about being pregnant.

"Kris sat in the truck when I went inside. Like I said, he had nothing to do with this," Sarah Everson said.

"Apparently, Kris Everson was convinced she was pregnant up until a month ago, and how this was pulled off was she basically gained weight by eating a lot of food," Grain Valley Police Chief Aaron Ambrose said. (sure honey, be a fat pig, its ok, its not like we needed the money you spent on all that food or anything)

Sarah Everson said her husband found out the babies were a hoax after she told everybody she had given birth to them. The couple had said the babies were born March 8.

"I told him around the same time that we announced to everybody that we had them," she said.

Sarah Everson refused to say how she kept her husband from finding out she wasn't really pregnant, until she finally told him.

"I don't have an answer for that," she said. "I've been asked that question so many times that it's not even funny."

Sarah Everson said she needs psychological help.(duh)

"I want to get into some kind of counseling to help figure out why this keeps happening," she said. "I am seeking counseling. I haven't found one yet, but I am seeking one to go forward and figure out my mindset. I don't want to be like this." (cuz yer a greedy a$$)

KMBC reported that the couple held hands while Sarah Everson told reporters about her lies.

"Nobody is perfect in this world; everybody has their faults," Kris Everson said. (see photo below)

Kris Everson, who worked on the assembly line at the Haldex plant in Grain Valley, no longer has a job there, the company said. KMBC reported that he was fired Thursday.

A police report showed that the company threw a fundraiser for the Everson children, collecting more than $800. The report also said Kris Everson's boss donated an additional $1,500.

Kris Everson had been telling co-workers since December that his wife was pregnant with multiple babies, Haldex human resources manager Cathi Christina said.

"He came to us, told us he and his wife were going to have quintuplets," Christina said. "Then, miraculously, they had six in March -- or reported that, anyway. A lot of people rallied around. They gathered $800 or $900 that we gave them."

"There's just a mixed bag of emotions," she said. "We feel sorry for them in some regards. They're just, what's the word for it, far off base on how they went about getting help. There's some anger, disbelief they did it."

Kris Everson said he doesn't think he should have been fired.(for robbing your boss and co-workers)

"I guess if that's the way they run their company -- by somebody getting too much publicity," he said.

Police were still collecting reports from people who gave money through a Web site -- since taken down, after the couple's story began unraveling earlier this week -- that solicited donations for the fictitious sextuplets.

"As of right now, I can tell you there's more than $4,000 involved, and that's just the money," Ambrose said. "That doesn't count the material items people might have given them."

Sarah Everson said she disagrees with police about how much money the couple received in donations.

"The money that they did raise, we never saw any of it. It went to bills -- we didn't see any of it," she said. (its still stealing)

To see this womans face:

I mean cmon, just look at her!

Anyway, this is sick. Even sicker to think she believes she is sick herself. I dont think she is, I think she is just a slick snake oil salesman, even to her dumb husband.

And people think I'm heartless because I don't give money to people that ask for it....too many people scamming each other these days. And with the problems with the Red Cross, I don't even feel comfortable donating to some large organizations. And with all the pork barrel projects, I don't think the government is good at helping people....

No wonder we're all going to hell in a handbasket. Doesn't matter where you go (at least some things are universal no matter if your state is red or blue or green or ultramarine)....

Not to single you out here... but with this kind of attitude being all too common, I'm supposed to buy the Libertarian line that if the government would just stop stealing from our pockets (at the point of a gun no less!) that people would give instead to private charities in quantities sufficient that would then pick up the slack that government's social services currently provide? Sure, that'll happen.

Again, not picking on you personally. But I've heard the argument from conservative after conservative who is 'fed up' with all the 'handouts' our government provides to the disadvantaged among us.

To agree with you, I am fed up with the Government being a charity among us. I think that when it gets involved, there are too many laws that constrain it from being effective, and I often wonder about where the Government sees its priorities.

One small example is that I believe that the Grameen Bank model is more successful at helping people that welfare. But, you will never see the government go that route...

I still give to private charities, and I think I would give more if my taxes were lowered. Would I give everything I'm not paying in taxes? No. I would probably give at the same rate as I am giving now (more money, same ratio).

So, going back to the Grameen model and your comment, I guess I am "fed up with all the handouts" that would be more beneficial if they were hand-ups....

I really don't know what to say. Unbelievable. I don't know about jail time... what could they charge her with?

Fraud.

But hey, this isn't the worse thing some one's ever done, she just got caught. People have pulled way worse scams and gotten away with it (eg: my family died in 911/Katrina/Some other well known disaster).
